Conversation is very important to me. Ever been one of those 20 questions dates? You know the one's where you're constantly asking questions of the boring person across from you, trying to get them to engage in some form of conversation so you don't fall asleep during the date? Those are awful. I'd also like to find someone where the burden of conversation is not constantly placed on me. I can definitely do my part, but you're the woman, and I should be able to get you going to the point where I could get away with the obligatory nod and "uh-huh" response. Of course I won't really do that, but you have to work with your potential dates here. I like to joke around and have a good time, but I'd also like to meet someone with a little bit of maturity. So lining your profile with pics of you and your girlfriends at the bar is not necessary. Those some pics which are accompanied with captions which say "Me and my b i t c h es!" is REALLY not necessary. I'd also like to speak with someone who doesn't have to specify that they enjoy dressing down as well as dressing up for a night on the town. I'm pretty sure all of us have had to go out for a formal event at some point in our life, so you don't need to point that out. I'm glad you at least know how to make the best of it, as well as knowing not to wear sweat-pants to Uncle Fred's wedding. Finally, I'm not a big fan of flakes, dandruff or otherwise. The only flakes I like are the frosted variety. Maybe the bran, but it has to have a lot of raisins! (This is of course all tongue in cheel, but you get the idea)

What I am looking for is to get to know someone as a possible companion, friend, and maybe more down the road. I think it's better to get to know a person well enough before taking it to the next level, if at all possible... or even at all.I'm an active and fun loving person who likes to look at the glass as being half full. I'm a person who likes to step back and look at the lighter side of things. I'm looking for someone who's the same, as well as being ambitious. I consider myself to be spontaneous and active, enjoying things like exercising and bike riding when the weather permits. I also enjoy writing and illustrating, so I'm a creative person as well.Aside from that, If there's anything else you'd like to know about me? Feel free to ask.

First Date

I don't even know you yet. Let's talk first. I could suggest we go out for ice cream and you may be lactose intolerant. See where this is going...
